The U.S. Coast Guard awarded SRS a contract for the FUSION UUV system, expanding its use in maritime search and rescue operations.
We take great pride in stating that the SRS FUSION is the chosen ROV for the U.S. Coast Guard and has been embraced by Coast Guards worldwide. The vital work performed by Coast Guard Forces in safeguarding our waters and shores is paramount, and we are thrilled that the FUSION plays a crucial role in these efforts.
HOW IS THE FUSION USED BY COAST GUARDS?
SEARCH AND RECOVERY — Poor underwater visibility creates hazards for professional divers. The FUSION hybrid ROV reduces risk for Coast Guard personnel and streamlines the search process while minimizing exposure to dangerous conditions.
UNDERWATER SURVEY — The device includes integrated sensors for efficiently surveying large water areas. Many Coast Guard units add optional side scan sonar capabilities for detecting threats around ports and harbors.
TARGET LOCATION — The FUSION's sensor suite helps locate both small and large targets during recovery missions, with custom software that enhances operational speed and safety.
MARINE PROTECTED AREAS — Coast Guards utilize the FUSION to effectively safeguard Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) against potential threats through surveillance in challenging underwater conditions.
KEEPING OUR COASTLINES SAFE
SHIP HULL INSPECTION — By combining the cutting-edge Blueprint Subsea Oculus Imaging Sonar and Reach Robotics HD Camera, inspecting a ship's hull has never been more seamless. Ships can be vulnerable to explosives, parasitic devices, and used as hiding spots for illicit substances, performing high-resolution vessel surveys play a crucial role in the Coast Guard's operations.
PORT AND HARBOR INSPECTION — Coast Guards diligently ensure that harbors and ports remain free from debris, hazards to navigation, and potential threats as part of their essential daily operations. The FUSION proves again and again to be a vital tool for Coast Guards globally, enabling quick and comprehensive surveys of large water areas, regardless of water visibility levels.
DIVER WATER SAFETY — Many Coast Guard teams rely on their divers to recover objects and evidence in risky operations. Utilizing the FUSION in the search area allows dive teams to assess any potential hazards to the diver, enhancing operational safety of diving in dangerous waters.
